Do you remember "beyond the supernatural"? That was a fun game. "Call of cthulu" rocked, but it was set in the 20's. I hate the 20's genre! "Cthulu now" brought the old ones to the present.
Although I have to agree that WoD games(vampire, werewolf, etc.) are far from scary(no matter how hard they try to be), their game mechanics kick ass. Most of the other gaming systems out there seem clunky, inconsistant or illogical (sometimes all three!). Of course, It's easy to nitpick games that paved the way. White wolf had plenty of opportunity to learn from the mistakes many other games had made in the past exploring virgin territory. How does that saying go?: "If I have indeed seen the face of god, it is because I have stood upon the shoulders of giants." (or something of that nature. . .)
Anyway, cool column. It brought back a lot of memories. (sigh.)
